NECKTIE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 9, 1912.

Application led August 16, 1911. Serial No. 644,465.

To all whom t may concern:

Be itknown that I, ALBERT "WLEGEL, a subect of the German Emperor, and residing at Cassel, Germany, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements 1n Necktie-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

- The present inventionhas reference to a new construction of necktie holder, and relates more specifically to a form of a V-shaped housing,

one-part holder to be permanently attached to the tie, in the into which the head of the collar button is introduced and in which it is retained without danger of becoming unintentionally unfastened.

In order to make my invention more readily understood, I will now describe it with reference to the accompanying drawn ings, in whichj view, and Fig.

Figure 1 represents a perspective front view of the new device; Fig. 2 is a rear 3 a side view thereof; Fig. 4 shows a vertical section through the holder withethe adjacent necktie part.

The holder, of any Y erably stamped sheet metal, consists of the front part a, the middle part b with cutouts c, and the rear part d with apertures e for fastening purposes. The front and rear parts extend approximately rectangularly to the connecting middle part b. At the upper f. edges ofthe members a are provided stop yplates f. The cut-outs c are provided at the top with rearwardly extending enlargements c, into which the head of the collar button h is introduced in slanting direction, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4 as at I. It is then slid into the straight portion of the cut-outs, whenthe stop plates f, taking over the button head, will effectively prevent the parts lfrom becoming accidentally disconnected again. The posit-ion II in Fig. 3 shows the proper position of the button relative to the holder when in use.

suitable material, pref-y For detaching the tie, it is tilted a little and then drawn downwardly, whereby the button head comes clear of the stop plates f and slides into the enlarged cut-out portions o and then out of the housing. On account of the V shape of the housing, the cut out portions c are far enough apart to permit the easy insertion or removal of the head of the collar button, without disturbing the walls of the housing.

The more or less resilient necktie part g is made use of to prevent the button from eX- tending too far into the housing, and serves to retain it in its operative position below the little stop plates.

The manner of securing the described holder to the tie is immaterial; as shown, holes e are provided for sewing it on, but it mayalso be attached in any other suitable manner, for instance by rivets, wire staples or the like.

What Iy claim is A necktie holder consisting of an integral piece of sheet metal stamped and pressed to form a V shaped housing, comprising ay front part with a central, upwardly opening slot and with stop-plates at the upper edges, fastening members, and side parts angularly interposed between said front part and said fastening members, said side parts having longitudinal slots terminating in rearwardly ALBERT WIEGEL.
